After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 135

Sheng Baoling sneered in his heart, it seemed that Pinglehou was really used to it.

But just when she was about to leave with the people who delivered the food, she heard a man stop the people nearby, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you counted the ones that were sent to the capital?"

"It's all counted, and there are a lot of them."

Sheng Baoling subconsciously hid behind the corner, listening to the two people talking about the capital city, immediately aroused her curiosity and vigilance.

The man asked again in a low voice, "Did you see anyone?"

He was always curious about the backer behind Ping Lehou, and wanted to know who it was that made Ping Lehou so comfortable.

He didn't worry at all that Jing Li found out and lost his head.

Sheng Baoling immediately pricked up her ears, and her intuition told her that this was very important.

The man shook his head, "I haven't seen it before, but I saw someone lost a waist card with the word Lou on it."

The man pursed his lips tightly, and had a guess in his heart.

Lou, there is only one family with the surname Lou in the capital, Lou Grand Master's Mansion.

Sheng Baoling was taken aback, actually related to Master Lou?

Taishi Lou is also related to the little emperor, even if Taishi Lou asked the little emperor, the little emperor would not use Pei Ci to make a deal with him.

Apparently, there is something wrong with Na Ping Lehou, and it is definitely not just Grand Master Lou.

At this moment, Sheng Baoling even wondered if the little emperor used Ping Lehou to stuff the food and silver that should have been used to relieve the people back into his belt.

Sheng Baoling's hands under the sleeves were clenched into fists. If this is the case, it is really absurd!

Coming out of Pinglehou's Mansion, Sheng Baoling looked around the city for a long time, seeing with her own eyes these tragic scenes that she could not even imagine before, she felt really uncomfortable.

If this matter is really related to the little emperor, she must not let it go.

When we returned to the post house, it was still dark, but there were a bunch of officers and soldiers stationed underneath, and there were still wet bloodstains on the ground.

Sheng Baoling's pupils shrank, something happened?
She went upstairs quickly, when the guard saw her, he hurried forward, "Young master, you are back!"

"what happened?"

"There is an assassin, your lord is injured, and Li Sheng is being punished right now."

Sheng Baoling frowned until he went upstairs and saw Li Sheng kneeling at the door of Pei Ci's room, "What's going on?"

Li Sheng pursed his lips tightly and kept silent.

Sheng Baoling learned from other people that Pei Ci punished Lisheng for leaving his post without authorization.

But Li Sheng clearly saved Pei Ci, and he was obviously credited with protecting the lord.

Many people guarding the posthouse were sent out to find themselves.

Sheng Baoling suddenly felt guilty, "You get up first, you saved your lord, how can you count it as a crime?"

If it weren't for Li Sheng, Pei Ci might have suffered more than such a minor injury today, but he is still being punished now. Wouldn't it be chilling to the hearts of the people?

Li Sheng still maintained his kneeling posture, "This subordinate left his post without authorization, he is guilty, and his subordinate should be punished."

Frowning, Sheng Baoling stepped forward, knocked on the door of Pei Ci's room, and then pushed the door open, "You..."

What I was going to say was blocked back in my throat at this moment, just because of the scene that Sheng Baoling saw in front of me.

Pei Ci was not wearing any clothes, Lang Zhong was standing aside, bandaging the wound on his arm, shoulder and arm.

Hearing the movement, Pei Ci turned his gaze and saw that it was Sheng Baoling, and heaved a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the little emperor's people would not hurt her, he was still worried.

If she doesn't come back again, this injury will be ignored, and he will go to find her.

"Okay." Pei Ci waved his hand, signaling the doctor to step back.

Sheng Baoling looked at Pei Ci and remained silent for a long while.

On the contrary, it was Pei Ci with a strange look on his face, "Where did you go today?"

Sheng Baoling originally came to ask Pei Ci why the meritorious Li Sheng was punished, but now that Pei Ci asked such a question, he instantly felt guilty and lost more than half of his momentum.

She frowned, "Let me ask you first, Li Sheng left his post without permission, but he has done a great job in saving you. Is it too much for you to punish him like this in front of so many people?"

Pei Ci stood up with a stern expression, walked to Sheng Baoling's side, and raised his hand to close the door.

Only then did he say, "He left his post without authorization, no matter how much merit he has, it will be hard to make up for it."

When seeing Li Sheng come out, Pei Ci panicked and hurried back to the post house because he was afraid that something would happen to Sheng Baoling.

The person in front of him is the whole meaning of him standing here alive.

Sheng Baoling frowned, "But, without him today, the two guards you brought out would not be able to protect you, and you still let him face so many people at this moment..."

She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pei Ci.

At this moment, Pei Ci was obviously annoyed, and did not regard Sheng Baoling in front of him as the current queen mother, but everything he said was about her identity.

"It's a crime for him to leave his post without authorization while knowing your identity."

"If something happens to you, he can't escape responsibility. This is a second crime."

"Disobedience to the master's prior instructions, disloyalty, these are the three crimes."

Pei Ci said one by one, if something happened to Sheng Baoling, Li Sheng might not be able to save his life right now, so he would be punished.

No matter how much Sheng Baoling wanted to refute Pei Ci, he couldn't find anything else to say. After a while, he said, "But I asked him to follow you. I have hidden guards by my side, so it's not as dangerous as you think."

Besides, the little emperor and those people are going to kill you, no one will stare at me.

But she didn't say the second half of these words.

Pei Ci's expression did not improve.

Sheng Baoling had no choice but to say, "Otherwise, let him come in and be punished. There are so many people outside, how can you let him raise his head in front of these subordinates and brothers?"

Pei Ci said nothing, this move, in addition to punishing Lisheng, also has the effect of deterring those subordinates.

Just when Sheng Baoling thought that Pei Ci would not listen to you, Pei Ci agreed.

Sheng Baoling breathed a sigh of relief immediately, this matter happened because of him, and he was negligent, and he did not expect to hurt others.

Wait a while, it's time to apologize to Li Sheng, and there can't be a gap between Li Sheng and Pei Ci.

But at this moment, Pei Ci suddenly asked, "Where did you go today?"

Sheng Baoling choked...and asked again.

Her eyes flickered, and she deliberately avoided Pei Ci's scrutiny. She knew in her heart that if she said that she had gone to the Pinglehou Mansion, Li Sheng might not just be kneeling like this right now.

After a while, she said, "I went to see the situation outside, and I'm a little worried."

Pei Ci frowned, wanting to say something, it can be seen from Sheng Baoling's reaction that he didn't say anything.

He knew in his heart that Sheng Baoling had lied, but he couldn't pursue it.

Simply, she didn't suffer any injuries, that's all.

"Next time, you have to bring someone with you before you can leave the posthouse."
